Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 655

Stella was frozen in place, stunned.

Had Cedric Clarke overheard them?

Briony looked just as caught off guard.

“Uh… what a coincidence,” Stella stammered, forcing a chuckle as she glanced at Cedric. “I just got here, and you showed up right after.”

Cedric’s face remained impassive as he stepped into the room, a stack of test results in his hand.

He didn’t spare Stella a glance. Instead, he looked straight at Briony, his voice calm and clear. “While you were unconscious, Dr. Riley and I ran a full set of tests. This is your latest bloodwork. Yesterday, we held a consult with the heads of both internal medicine and integrative therapies. Right now, the recommended approach is to combine conventional treatment with holistic care. We’re holding off on chemotherapy for now—you’re too weak, and the side effects would be too much for your body to handle.”

Briony had long since come to terms with her illness.

After everything she’d endured in Nortia, she’d learned to accept what came her way.

But with two children depending on her, no matter how hard things got, she clung to every sliver of hope and did everything she could to fight.

She gave Cedric a small, steady smile. “I trust you. I’ll do whatever you need me to do.”

Cedric’s gaze softened a touch. “Your outlook matters, too. Try not to dwell on the anxiety.”

“I understand. I’ll do my best.”

“Alright, then. I’ll leave you to rest.” Cedric set the report on the bedside table, nodded briefly at Briony, and turned to leave.

Stella stood there, speechless.

He really just walked out without even acknowledging her.

Briony watched her. “Your husband’s upset. Aren’t you going after him?”
